I like to Speedtest all the carriers and learn about cellular networking, such as antennas, radios!

@melanatedTimo33 I haven’t seen cbrs nodes on Spectrum. Spectrum mobile doesn’t throttle speeds to 2G anymore after 50GB, it’s just deprioritized

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

Spectrum Mobile speedtest on mid-band 5GUW (n77) + LTE (b66) NSA compared to passpoint WiFi at Subway - Grand Prairie, Texas

@JimJackson88502 @Crowsnestbb @SneedTech AT&T is also using Ericsson (RRU’s) remote radio units behind the antennas:

- RRU 4490HP (b12) 700MHz LTE + (n5) 850MHz for low-band 5G

- RRU 4494 (b14) 700MHz LTE

- RRU 4890HP (b2) 1900MHz-PCS + (b66) 2100MHz-AWS + supports (n2, n66) ePCS/eAWS for mid-band 5G

@JimJackson88502 @Crowsnestbb @SneedTech Equipment AT&T is using:

- 6 CommScope NNH4-65B-R6H4 antennas with bands: (2, 12, 14, 66) LTE + (n5) - 10MHz for low-band 5G on the LEFT + RIGHT side

- 3 Ericsson AIR. 6472-B77G/M (54T64R) antennas for (3.7GHz) c-band @ 80MHz + (3.45GHz) for mid-band 5G+

T-Mobile small cell with (n41) located at UTA beside Panera Bread on Spaniolo Dr

@networkninja77 Wow, T-Mobile and AT&T getting smazong speeds on that site! I like the night photo

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@melanatedTimo33 There is no (n77) present on that T-Mobile site! The skinny antennas on the left + right side are CommScope HBXX-3319DS-A2M antennas for (b2, b66) LTE + (n25, n66)

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@Crowsnestbb Verizon is using: Ericsson (RRU's) - remote radio units located behind the CommScope antennas::

- 3 Ericsson RRU 4490HP for (b5) 850MHz LTE + (b13) 700MHz LTE + (n5) 850MHz [low-band 5G]

- Ray-cap RCMDC-6627-PF-48 being used for power surge protection for the radios

@Crowsnestbb 3rd/4th PHOTO -- Verizon using:

- 3 JMA MX08FRO860-B02 antennas with bands: (5, 13) LTE + (n5) low-band 5G [RIGHT]

- 3 Ericsson AIR. 3283 (32T32R) antennas with (b2) PCS, (b66) AWS LTE + (n2, n66) mid-band 5G
[MIDDLE]

- 3 Ericsson AIR. 6419-B77D antennas for mid-band 5G [LEFT]

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@Crowsnestbb T-Mobile is using Nokia (RRU's) remote radio units behind the antennas:

- AHLOB (b12) 700MHz + (b71) 600MHz LTE + (n71) low-band 5G
- AHFII (b2) 1900MHz-PCS + (b66) 2100MHz-AWS + (n25) mid-band 5G

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@Crowsnestbb T-Mobile is using:

- 3 CommScope FFVV-65C-R2-CM antennas with bands: (2, 12, 66, 71) LTE + (n25) mid-band 5G & (n71) low-band 5G [LEFT] side
- 3 Nokia AirScale AVHA [400W] 64T64R antennas for (n41) mid-band 5G on the [RIGHT] side

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@Crowsnestbb Wow bro, that is so slick to see a complete U.S. Cellular site rebuilt for T-mobile! The antennas look super clean and they did a great job installing the antennas since the wiring is very organized.

Verizon seems to be cooking gas there with multi gig backhaul

AT&T vs. Verizon SpeedTest inside Parks Mall in Arlington early morning when it’s empty

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@Crowsnestbb That’s amazing T-Mobile is taking over more U.S. Cellular sites and fully ripping them out to add (n41)! will for sure be an great network boost in the area! AT&T leaves a lot to be desired in Iowa now with the worst coverage

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@Terrell352 Here’s the Verizon SpeedTest inside the mall! It didn’t attach originally! My bad

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

AT&T vs. Verizon mid-band 5G (n77) SpeedTest - Parks Mall in Arlington, Texas

AT&T has mid-band 5G (n77) indoor DAS using Ericsson AIR. 4435 antennas

Verizon doesn’t have indoor DAS, relying from a macro site across the street!

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@Terrell352 @YouTube Verizon is using:

- 6 CommScope NHH-45C-R2B antennas with (b5) + (b13) LTE - RIGHT side

- 3 Ericsson AIR. 3283 (32T32R) FDD-massive mimo antennas with bands: (2, 66) LTE + (n66) mid-band 5G

- 3 Ericsson AIR. 6419-B77D (3.7GHz) n77 antennas for midband 5G @ 140MHz - (LEFT) side

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@Terrell352 @YouTube For AT&T:

I can see an Ericsson RRU 4490 for (b12) LTE + (n5) low-band 5G behind the antenna

[CancelIndependent @cancelind]

@Terrell352 @YouTube Bottom rack is AT&T, I can 100% confirm!

They are the only carrier to use the grey squid shaped raycaps behind the antenna for power surge protection for the Ericsson (RRU's) remote radio units!

AT&T is using:
- 3 CommScope NNH4-65C-R6 antennas with bands: (2, 12, 14, 66) LTE

@Terrell352 @SneedTech @Techlife32 @Crowsnestbb @CleverIv @jon_bogger @JohnSmith7gug Wow, that’s pretty cool to see it in action! Those speeds are really good
